The end of the Republic – Tea Party Nation

The end of the Republic – Tea Party Nation.

Posted by Judson Phillips

There is a scene in the original Star Wars movie from 1977 where General Tarkin (played by famed British Actor Peter Cushing) tells Darth Vader that the Emperor has dissolved the Senate.  He tells Vader, “The last remnants of the old Republic have been swept away forever.”

 America was created as a Constitutional Republic as our founding fathers were very aware of the inherent dangers of a Democracy.  The left has worked hard to destroy the protections a Republic provides its citizens. 

 There is a threat to what is left of the protections a Constitutional Republic gives its citizens.  While this story has flown under the radar because of other news, something very dangerous is coming.  This is something that will sweep away one of the last remnants of our Constitutional Republic.

 What is it?

 The Filibuster has been a time-honored technique used in the Senate to keep the majority from running roughshod over the minority.  A filibuster puts a hold on everything and it cannot be stopped unless 60 Senators vote for cloture or to end debate.

 The filibuster causes one party to compromise and it slows down legislation, since the Senate is supposed to be a deliberative body.

 Now, as the Senate comes back into session in January, the Democrats are planning to do something that will change the nature of the Senate and our Constitutional Republic.

 Harry Reid, the Democrat Senate Majority Leader, wants to do away with the filibuster.

 The Senate, unlike the House of Representatives is a continuing body.  The Senate has 22 Rules that it operates under, 16 of those rules date from the establishment of the Senate.  When the House of Representatives meets, it creates new rules every time.  The Senate is a continuing body so it does not have to.  Now Reid wants to change the Rules of the Senate, just making stuff up as he goes.

 Reid wants to operate under the fiction that the Senate is not a continuing body therefore a majority vote sets new rules when it shows up ever January.   The Rules of the Senate are decided on a majority vote.  Therefore, with a majority vote, the filibuster can be abolished.

 Abolishing the Filibuster sounds like one of those boring inside Washington debates that no one in real America cares about.

 Nothing could be more wrong!

 If Harry Reid is able to abolish the filibuster, everything the Senate considers (other than matters specified by the Constitution) will require only a majority vote.

 The Obama Compliant media has been talking about how the Republicans are misusing the filibuster just because they want to obstruct the Democrats.

 As usual with the mainstream media, you are not getting the full story.

 Harry Reid has been using a parliamentary trick called “Filling the tree.”  Basically what that means is that he fills up all of the possible opportunities for Amendments to bills. 

 This means the minority, in other words the Republicans, has no opportunity to offer amendments to bills.  Republicans cannot get bills voted on unless Harry Reid approves.  Republicans cannot get amendments voted on unless Harry Reid wants to allow the vote.

 In short, Harry Reid has gone from being the Majority Leader of the Senate to the Dictator of the Senate.   The Republicans have one tool left. 

 That is the Filibuster.

 If the Filibuster is abolished, the gates will be opened.  Liberal groups are already lining up to try to push through legislation they want that could not survive filibuster.  This includes Cap and Trade, Card Check, gun control and almost everything else on the liberal wish list.

 In addition, nominees could no longer be filibustered.  This would open the door for Obama to appoint the most radical people possible to Federal openings, including Judges who receive lifetime appointments.

 For once, Republicans are standing firm on this issue.  But we need six Democrats to defect.   The Democrats are not monolithic on this one.  Some of the Democrats who have served for a long time have an institutional memory and do not think this is a good idea.  Others realize that if the Filibuster is abolished, it is not coming back and one day the Republicans will control the Senate again.   There are Democrats in the Senate who are in red states who will face election in 2014.  They realize that if the Senate pushes through radical legislation, their chances of reelection will diminish radically.

 We need to call every Senator’s office and tell them to oppose any change to the Filibuster. 

 Our founding fathers knew what a Democracy would mean and that is why they gave us a Constitutional Republic.   Those safeguards of the Republic have been done away with and the Filibuster in the Senate is one of the last.   If it falls, the Republic falls too.

 Tell your friends and your Tea Party group about this.

 Call every Senator today and demand they vote against any change to the Senate Rules regarding Filibusters.

Tomorrow never comes – Tea Party Nation

Tomorrow never comes – Tea Party Nation.

Posted by Judson Phillips

Word is slowly seeping out for Washington about a grand bargain being worked out between Barack Obama and John Boehner. 

 

As we hear about the negotiations, the obvious question to be asked is, does Boehner and the Republican leadership in the House even have a clue?

 

What is going on that is so dangerous?

 

The Republicans are going to surrender on taxes.  According to published reports a deal is going to be made.  It is your typical Republican deal.  The GOP will agree to a trillion in new taxes and there will be spending cuts in the future.

 

When will the Republican Party learn that tomorrow never comes?

 

The Republicans have made these kinds of deals before.  In 1986, Ronald Reagan agreed to Amnesty for an estimated three million illegal aliens.  The deal was amnesty today and a sealed border tomorrow. 

 

Twenty-six years later the border is still not sealed. 

 

Now the Republicans want to make the same kind of deal. 

 

Wait, didn’t they do that last year?

 

Yes.  Yes they did.

 

Anyone remember the debt ceiling crisis of August 2011?

 

Anyone remember John Boehner’s great stroke of genius? 

 

He would give Obama $2 trillion more to borrow in exchange for a promise of spending cuts.  Either the Democrats would agree to spending cuts or automatic spending cuts would kick in.  These spending cuts disproportionately hurt national defense and other programs that Republicans allegedly believe in. 

 

What about the programs of the Nanny State?  Their growth would be slowed only a little.

 

That was last year.

 

Now that day has come and what is the GOP doing?  It is running around like Chicken Little screaming the sky is falling and asking Obama for his terms of surrender.   Obama has already gone through that $2 trillion and is going to be asking for more.  John Boehner is ready to surrender on taxes that will not reduce the deficit but will only fuel additional government spending.

 

Does anyone in the Republican Party bother to looks at history?  George H.W. Bush broke his infamous “read my lips” pledge.  He went from 90% approval a little more than a year before the election to being soundly defeated by Bill Clinton. 

 

Breaking his “read my lips” pledge was one of the main reasons he lost. 

 

On November 6, John Boehner showed up at the Republican Victory Party in Washington DC.  He was ecstatic.  He would have another two years as House Speaker.  He said the Republicans were the party of less government, less spending and lower taxes.

 

Right.

 

Under John Boehner, we could say the Republicans are the party of gullible fools. 

 

We know what the plan to raise taxes will do to the economy.   For Obama and the Democrats, this is like winning the lottery. 

 

They knew raising taxes was such a bad idea they did not want to do it before Obama ran for reelection.  Now the circumstances are perfect.  John Boehner and the Republicans will go along with the Obama-Boehner Tax Hike.  It will give the Democrats perfect cover.

 

When the economy tanks even worse than it is already tanking, and Republicans want to run against the Great Obama Depression, the Democrats will be able to say not so fast.  You own this depression as much as we do.  Minutes after Obama and Boehner shake hands over the deal that video footage will be in the archives of the DNC to be used as ammo in attack ads against any Republican who challenges the Democrats on the economy. 

 

Even worse for Republicans, this deal with destroy the base. 

 

As reports come out that John Boehner and the House leadership are considering a grand bargain with Democrats, many rank and file Republicans are now openly talking about leaving the Party.

 

Christmas is coming early for the Democrats.  2014 is the Republican’s best chance for taking control of the Senate in the next two or three election cycles.   Yet the GOP is doing everything possible to depress its base and possibly shatter the party.

 

Meanwhile, the Obama, Pelosi, Reid axis of fiscal evil is laughing all the way towards a permanent Democrat Majority in government.

The Party of…. – Tea Party Nation

The Party of…. – Tea Party Nation.

Posted by Judson Phillips

The true colors of the Democrat Party were on full display this week at their convention in Charlotte.

 The display from the Democrats this week shows they truly are the party of…

 You fill in the blank.

The Democrats opened their convention with an Islamic prayer service led by a man who has called for the overthrow of the “filthy” American government and to have it replaced by an Islamic state. 

 That has worked out so well in Iran, Afghanistan and Egypt among other places.  That’s a good idea.

 The Democrats took God out of their platform, booed when he was put back in and truthfully those who wanted him out of the platform probably won that vote.

 Then, after repeated insults to those who hold Christian beliefs, an olive branch was offered.  The Democrats hastily accepted the offer by Cardinal Dolan to offer the benediction.

When he offered the benediction, he offered an explicitly prolife benediction. 

 The left went nuts.

 While conservatives are not allowed to dare question Obama’s Christianity (or lack thereof), it was open season on the top Catholic Prelate in America.

 Liberals took to twitter saying all manner of foul things about the Archbishop

Twichy has got a pretty good rundown on the slime. (warning, the language is very obscene).

 This is liberal tolerance on full display.  No one is allowed to disagree with liberal orthodoxy. 

 Conservatives are told that we must tolerate any liberal idiocy and the first word out of the mouth of your average liberal about a conservative is that we are “intolerant.”

 Guess what?

 For liberals, that term just got retired.

The coming earthquake – Tea Party Nation

 

The coming earthquake – Tea Party Nation.

Posted by Judson Phillips

Our society is not a static one.  We have changes all the time.  Some of them are small.  Occasionally we have a massive earthquake of a change.  These come along only once a generation, once a century or perhaps even less frequently than that.

 We have a huge political earthquake coming.  What is going to cause this seismic change and what will the shocking result be?

 We are about to see the end of the liberal media political complex.  Since the end of World War Two, the left has held a monopoly on the news information business.  Actually monopoly is not a true description.  To call it a cartel would be more accurate.   They were a group of individuals who worked together to restrict the flow of a product into the market place.

 In this case, the product was news and information. 

 For over sixty years, the liberal media cartel controlled news.   The cartel had one goal, having their ideology reflected in the news.  Cartels are easy to control when there are only a few producers.  In the hey day of the liberal media, the media narratives were controlled by the New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS and NBC. 

 With these media titans in place, the narrative was formed and it was hard to break.  There were exceptions to the cartel, where conservatives flourished but they were rare. 

 The liberal media cartel has been doomed by the information age.  It started with talk radio, providing an alternative outlet.  Then Fox News came along.  It thrived because it was an alternative to the liberal media cartel.  Then the Drudge Report came along.

 Now, conservative media is exploding on the Internet

 Cartels become doomed when they cannot control all of the producers of a product and that is what has happened here.   Viewers are fleeing liberal media in record numbers for media outlets that reflect their values and do not act as a palace guard for the Obama Regime.

 The end of the liberal media cartel is helping to bring about something else too.  This is a seismic change we have not seen in over 150 years.  We are about to see the death of a major American political party.

 The Democrats have moved so far to the left they are no longer recognizable as an American political party.  Their beliefs sound more like something that would come from a Central Committee meeting of the Communist Party than from an American political party.

 Perhaps the last straw came a few days ago when the Democrats first met in Charlotte.  They declared we all belong to the government.   I’m not sure what is worse, the Democrats announcing we belong to government or not understanding why real Americans are horrified by that claim.

 The real fiasco came when the Democrats announced their platform.  They removed God from it and took out the plank that said Jerusalem was the capital of Israel.   The Republicans hit that so hard the Democrats had to react.  So Ted Strickland, a former Ohio governor and minister in the Church of Karl Marx was designated to make the motion to put God and Jerusalem back in the Democrat platform. 

 Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa went to the platform as chairman, called for the vote and was about to do as he was ordered, namely make sure the amendment passed.  As he called for the voice vote, not once but three times, it was plainly obvious that those voting against the amendment outnumbered those in favor of it. 

 Villaraigosa stood there wondering what the hell was happening, watching his political career go down in flames.  Finally he ruled the amendments had passed, despite the clear indication they had not.

 This idiocy and the loud booing afterwards were all dutifully recorded and are now on YouTube.

 The message has been simple.  The Democrats are booing God.  If you add the Islamic Prayers, which was an official Democrat Convention event, led by an Imam who calls for the overthrow of the American government and the obscenities hurled at Cardinal Timothy Dolan who offered the benediction, you have a radical party that is out of touch with America.

 Rush Limbaugh said yesterday that the liberal media would throw Obama under the bus to save liberalism.  They would blame the failure of this administration on Obama’s incompetence, not liberalism.

 He is right about that, but there is more. 

 With the collapse of the liberal media cartel, the media can no longer shield the American people from what the Democrat Party has become.  It has become an anti-American party of socialism.

 Americans do not want socialism.  We like freedom.  Scott Rasmussen reported a few days ago that record numbers of people now identified themselves as Republicans while the number of those who identify as Democrats is close to an all time low. 

 A Republican tsunami is coming this fall. Romney will win the Presidency.  There is no amount of voter fraud that can stop him.  The Republicans will take control of the Senate and maintain control of the House.

 The Democrats will become so marginalized they will tear themselves apart.  Conservatives and anyone who is not to the left of Karl Marx realize the Democrat Party does not want them.

 In 1848, the Whig Party elected their last President.  By 1860, the new Republican Party had replaced the Whig Party.  By 2016, given the way the Democrat Party is imploding, we may well see a new political party coming into its own as a major political party.

 Let us hope so and we can consign the Party of Treason to the ash heap of history.

 

Where do we go from here? – Tea Party Nation

Where do we go from here? – Tea Party Nation.

Posted by Judson Phillips

Despite the desire for a carefully choreographed convention, the Republican National Convention got off to a bumpy start yesterday with a fight over the rules that govern the Party. 

 The rule changes were a direct slam at grassroots activists and a power play by the victorious Party Establishment. 

 Many grassroots activists are furious with the GOP.  So where do we go from here?

 If you have seen the old movie Glengarry Glen Ross, you may remember the speech given by the character played by Alec Baldwin.  It is the ABC speech.  In the movie, ABC stands for, “Always be closing.”   Since the movie deals with salesmen in a Real Estate office, that makes sense.

 Our motto, our speech is OMG.  Obama must go. 

 The rule changes at the Republican Party are designed to consolidate power in the Party Establishment. They make it harder for grassroots activists, such as the Tea Party to change the party.  They can best be described as a ham-handed effort by Team Romney to eliminate any possibility of party dissent should he win and seek reelection in 2016.

 It flies in the face of everything the Tea Party stands for and every reason the Tea Party came into existence.

 OMG.  Obama must go.   Harry Reid must go.

 There were several rules that were changed, including rules concerning the selection of delegates and how they are bound.   The Republican Party has a huge issue in front of it and it is not how the delegates are chosen or bound. 

 It is how the candidates are selected.

 In many states, there are open primaries.   The problem with open primaries is that it allows the other side to cross over and vote in Republican primaries. 

 Does anyone else have a problem with the other side choosing our candidates?

 This has actually become a tactic.  Earlier this year, in Indiana, the Young Guns PAC, which is associated with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, encouraged Democrats to come out and vote for Richard Lugar. 

 What?

 Yes, that really happened.

 In 2008, Rush Limbaugh famously encouraged “Operation Chaos,” where he encouraged conservative Republicans to go vote in the Democrat primaries to keep that race going on as long as possible.  Does anyone doubt the favor was returned in 2012?

 In Missouri, Todd Akin was the favored choice of opponents by Democrat Claire McCaskill.  The Democrats spent $1.5 million in ads that were designed to help Akin.   Does anyone doubt that Democrats were crossing over to help get Akin nominated?

 The real reform that Republicans need to push is reforms that make certain Republicans, not Democrats, select the Republican nominee for office.

 Does this mean that there would be a greater role for the Party Establishment in these selections?  Sure.  But which is worse?  The Party Establishment having a much greater influence on the nomination or the other party?

 Besides, grassroots activists, particularly at the local level, can take over the Party.  This has been done in many places and is still on going.

 Meanwhile, Conservatives remain justifiably outraged about what has happened in Tampa.  One delegate from Minnesota was quoted as they walked out about going to a third party. 

 Guess what?  OMG still applies.

 Obama must go.  Harry Reid must go. 

 The way Team Romney handled these rule changes was nothing short of a disaster.  But I am also a believer in the law of unintended consequences.   Those rules should be examined after the anger is passed and we in the grassroots should look and see what we can do to give the establishment a taste of their own medicine.

 Meanwhile, the most important fact of all has not changed.

 OMG.  Obama must go.

EDITORIAL: Obama frags military voters – Washington Times.

Support the troops, just don’t let them vote

President Obama goes out of his way to appear to support the troops. But when it comes to voting, he would like to keep them out of the fight.

The Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party are suing the critical swing state of Ohio to strike down a law that makes it easier for members of the military to vote. Under the law, people in uniform may cast early ballots in person up to the day before an election, instead of the previous Friday cutoff for other voters.

Democrats have a transparent political motive. A May 2012 Gallup survey showed Mr. Obama trailing Mitt Romney among veterans 58 to 34 percent. “About a fourth of men are veterans,” Gallup reported, “and it is their strong skew toward Romney that essentially creates the GOP candidate’s leading position among men today.”

The Democrats’ suit alleges the Buckeye State’s law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis,” but it is a response to a very real problem. “It’s truly difficult to vote,” an active-duty service member told The Washington Times. “The military tries hard to help us out with awareness and links to state voting sites but most troops don’t exercise their franchise because it’s too hard.”

A study by the nonpartisan Military Voters Protection Project found that in 2008, less than 20 percent of 2.5 million military voters successfully voted by absentee ballot. In 2010, that participation shrank to a scandalous 5 percent. In response to these dismal numbers, the project has organized the Heroes Vote Initiative, “the first and only nationwide campaign to encourage military voter participation and to provide those voters with the tools to register and request an absentee ballot.” The project has singled Ohio out as one of 15 “all-star states” for its efforts to promote and encourage military voting.

The political attack on our troops reopens a wound from the 2000 presidential race. During the controversial Florida recount process, Democrats issued a detailed eight-page guide to local operatives for challenging military overseas ballots. The instructions included erroneous guidance that resulted in over 1,500 ballots being wrongly rejected, which were later reinstated after legal action. Facing a public-relations disaster, the Gore campaign relented, but the damage was done. This year, Democrats are up to similar dirty tricks.

On Wednesday, AMVETS, the National Guard Association of the United States and the Association of the U.S. Army — among other military-affiliated organizations — petitioned a judge to dismiss the lawsuit. “It’s disheartening given the full-court press of the Obama administration to court if not pander to the military community,” said our source, an overseas combat veteran. “There is an awful lot of effort going into talking about wounded warriors, for example, and employment for veterans. What’s going on in Ohio is discouraging but not surprising since the administration’s outreach efforts have never seemed sincere.”

“Those few who are making the effort to be citizens in every sense of the word should be supported,” our source said. “It makes you wonder why they are investing that much time and effort to keep the troops from voting. They must be desperate.”

The Party of Treason at work again – Tea Party Nation

 

 

The Party of Treason at work again – Tea Party Nation.

 

Posted by Judson Phillips

 

There is a reason why we call the Democrats the Party of Treason.  Every now and then they even exceed their own low standards.

 

 They have done something now that is outrageous, even by the standards of the Party of Treason. 

 

What are they doing?

 

 They are working to deny military members the right to vote.

 

 From Breitbart.com

 

 On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”

 

Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty. 

 

The National Defense Committee reports:

 

[f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote. 

 

 The Obama campaign, the Democrats, aided and abetted by their allies in the drive by media, have done everything to attack voter photo ID laws.  They want to make it as easy as possible for fraud.

 

 But we have real Americans who are serving our nation, often in dangerous places and what does the Party of Treason want to do?

 

 The Party of Treason wants to deny them the vote. 

 

 Where do we even start with this outrage?

 

 It is beyond contemptible that the Party of Treason wants to make it more difficult for our military to vote or even deny them the vote.

 

 Of course, the military is not an Obama constituency so all the Party of Treason is interested in is suppressing the vote from that group.

 

 If the drive by media had any credibility they would call the Party of Treason and Obama out on this.

 

 Don’t expect to hear anything about this from the alphabet networks anytime soon.

 

The Biggest Scandal In U.S. History – Ann Coulter – Townhall.com

The Biggest Scandal In U.S. History – Ann Coulter – Townhall.com.

Forget executive privilege, contempt of Congress, “fast and furious,” how many documents the government has produced and who said what to whom on which date.

The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on “American Idol.”

Administration officials intentionally put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, so that when the guns taken from Mexican crime scenes turned out to be American guns, Democrats would have a reason to crack down on gun sellers in the United States.

Democrats will never stop trying to take our guns away. They see something more lethal than a salad shooter and wet themselves.

But since their party was thrown out of Congress for the first time in nearly half a century as a result of passing the 1994 “assault weapons ban,” even liberals know they’re going to need a really good argument to pass any limitation on guns ever again.

So it’s curious that Democrats all started telling the same lie about guns as soon as Obama became president. In March 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced to reporters on a trip to Mexico: “Since we know that the vast majority, 90 percent of that weaponry (used by Mexican drug cartels), comes from our country, we are going to try to stop it from getting there in the first place.”

As she sentimentally elaborated on Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren show: “The guns sold in the United States, which are illegal in Mexico, get smuggled and shipped across our border and arm these terrible drug-dealing criminals so that they can outgun these poor police officers along the border and elsewhere in Mexico.”

Suddenly that 90 percent statistic was everywhere. It was like the statistic on women beaten by their husbands on Super Bowl Sunday.

CBS’ Bob Schieffer asked Obama on “Face the Nation”: “It’s my understanding that 90 percent of the guns that they’re getting down in Mexico are coming from the United States. We don’t seem to be doing a very good job of cutting off the gun flow. Do you need any kind of legislative help on that front? Have you, for example, thought about asking Congress to reinstate the ban on assault weapons?”

At a Senate hearing, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said: “It is unacceptable to have 90 percent of the guns that are picked up in Mexico and used to shoot judges, police officers and mayors … come from the United States.”

And then, thanks to Fox News — the first network to report it — we found out the 90 percent figure was complete bunkum. It was a fabrication told by William Hoover, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF), and then spread like wildfire by Democrats and the media.

Mexican law enforcement authorities send only a fraction of the guns they recover from criminals back to the U.S. for tracing. Which guns do they send? The guns that have U.S. serial numbers on them. It would be like asking a library to produce all their Mark Twain books and then concluding that 90 percent of the books in that library are by Mark Twain.

You begin to see why the left hates Fox News so much.

Obama backed away from the preposterous 90 percent claim. His National Security Council spokesman explained to Fox News that by “recovered,” they meant “guns traceable to the United States.” So, in other words, Democrats were frantically citing the amazing fact that almost all the guns traceable to the U.S. were … traceable to the U.S.

Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters that even if the percentage is inaccurate, the “vast majority” of guns seized in crimes in Mexico come from the United States. And he should know, because it turns out he was sending them there!

Apart from the guns Holder was giving them, this was an absurd claim. Most of the guns used by drug cartels are automatic weapons — not to mention shoulder-fired rockets — that can’t be sold to most Americans. They are acquired from places like Russia, China and Guatemala.

Right about the time the 90 percent lie was unraveling, the Obama administration decided to directly hand thousands of American guns over to Mexican criminals. Apart from the fact that tracking thousands of guns into Mexico is not feasible or rational, the dumped guns didn’t have GPS tracing devices on them, anyway. There is no conceivable law enforcement objective to such a program.

This is what we know:

(1) Liberals thought it would be a great argument for gun control if American guns were ending up in the hands of Mexican criminals;

(2) They wanted that to be true so badly, Democrats lied about it;

(3) After they were busted on their lie, the Obama administration began dumping thousands of guns in the hands of Mexican criminals.

We also know that hundreds of people were murdered with these U.S.-government-supplied guns, including at least one American, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

But let’s look on the bright side. The BATF was originally going to ship warheads to Iran until realizing the explosions might disable the tracking devices.

(Contrary to more Democrat lies, there was no such program to dump thousands of guns in Mexico under George W. Bush. The Bush administration did have a program that put GPS trackers on about 100 guns in order to actually trace them. That operation was ended almost as soon as it began because of the lack of cooperation from Mexican officials. You may as well say Holder’s program was “started” by the first cop who ever put tracer dye on contraband.)

No one has explained what putting 2,500 untraceable guns in the hands of Mexican drug dealers was supposed to accomplish.

But you know what that might have accomplished? It would make the Democrats’ lie retroactively true — allowing them to push for the same gun restrictions they were planning when they first concocted it. A majority of guns recovered from Mexican criminals would, at last, be American guns, because Eric Holder had put them there.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, some brave whistleblower inside the government leaked details of this monstrous scheme. As soon as Congress and the public demanded answers, Holder clammed up. He just says “oops” — and accuses Republicans of racism.

Obama – Modus Operandi – Tea Party Nation

Obama – Modus Operandi – Tea Party Nation.

By Marcia Wood

The Modus Operandi of Obama is as obvious as the nose on his face; we don’t have to be a World renowned detective or a high profile attorney to recognize Obama’s method of operation.  Obama considers himself a superior human being and looks on “we the people” with disdain and hatred.  He considers himself the only one worthy and intelligent enough to make decisions for the populace.  Obama believes he’s a savior to others with Godlike talents.

First of all it’s important to realize that his narcissistic personality disorder along with a false ideology makes him a very dangerous opponent.  He won’t tolerate confrontation and literally throws a tantrum if anyone questions his decisions or leadership.  His inability to hold such a prestigious office as Commander in Chief of the USA has been obvious to many since January 2009 – he’s not a leader, but a dictator who believes he is above the laws of our land and immune to the dictates of our Constitution. 

Obama’s MOP (Mode of operation) is primarily based on the “Art of Deception;” he deceived the poor, the African Americans, the Hispanics and the taxpayers in 2009 with idle promises of “hope and change.”  Next, he surrounded himself with a group of people that he considered to be “super human beings” whose job it is to direct and control the lowly sheeples.  These people don’t worship Obama but they worship his puppeteers; he’s just a mouthpiece to further their radical agenda nothing more or nothing less. 

Obama is a strategist and a shrewd chess player who knows how to protect the King and Queen – the pawns are his scapegoats (Bush, Republicans, Conservative News Media, the wealthy etc.) and they are strategically placed to take the hits or responsibilities for all his failed policies, executive orders and radical directives. 

Obama’s agenda is very similar to Hitler’s mode of operation – Hitler spent millions on recruitment and propaganda in order to pursue his political agenda.  Obama spends millions a week recruiting the unsuspecting and helpless who are totally dependent on “Big Government.”  Obama’s propaganda machines (the Liberal News Media, Soros’s Special Interest armies, Unions, the African American civil right activists and Democratic strategists are powerful and dangerous.

Obama is akin to Stalin due to his ideology of equality and class warfare – that’s why we hear the phrases such as level playing field, fair share and redistribution.  Obama like Hitler is obsessed with an ideology based on hate stimulated by his narcissistic need for attention – Obama hates America and most Americans believing that a “New World Order” will cure all of our Nation’s ills. Obama and Michelle are in total agreement that America is in need of a Radical face lift and in less than four years our great Country is hardly recognizable. 

We’ve become a haven for the terrorists, Muslim Brotherhood, Communists, Marxists and Rothschild Zionists.  In fact like Donald Trump has said, we’re the laughing stock of the World having lost much of our nuclear and military dominance, our Triple A rating, our inability to negotiate strong trade agreements with China and other Countries. These foreign Countries have demonstrated their strength in their predatory economic trade agreements. 

Our National Deficit is over 16 trillion, so much for fiscal responsibility.  Republicans and Democrats continue collecting disgusting and disgraceful salaries and for what????   We’re paying a bunch of lackadaisical blood suckers a salary for destroying our Nation!

Obama’s personal exposure to the Chicago Machine prepared him for his run for President in 2008; he was immersed in the dirty game of fraud and political corruption making it a very easy transition to install a National Chicago Machine. The Old Republican Establishment and fence straddling Democrats who dabbled in dirty politics quickly found out the true meaning of “Dirty, Corrupt, Illegal and deadly.”  

They were no match for Obama’s Chicago Machine manned by Soros, Unions, Special Interest groups and the Liberal News Media – rather than face total annihilation they joined him, although they still do their “dog & pony” show for their constituents benefit. 

One of the most important things for Americans to remember is “we are the people” and our forefathers created the Constitution to protect us during such turbulent times.  Will we fight for our freedom or do we have other things that we value more than our freedom, our children and grandchildren’s future and our beautiful America?

A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.  Kemal Ataturk

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.    William Somerset Maugham

Negroes With Guns – Ann Coulter – Townhall Conservative Columnists

Negroes With Guns – Ann Coulter – Townhall Conservative Columnists.

Liberals have leapt on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida to push for the repeal of “stand your ground” laws and to demand tighter gun control. (MSNBC’S Karen Finney blamed “the same people who stymied gun regulation at every point.”)

This would be like demanding more funding for the General Services Administration after seeing how its employees blew taxpayer money on a party weekend in Las Vegas.

We don’t know the facts yet, but let’s assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and murdered him in cold blood, just because he was black.

If that were true, every black person in America should get a gun and join the National Rifle Association, America’s oldest and most august civil rights organization.

Apparently this has occurred to no one because our excellent public education system ensures that no American under the age of 60 has the slightest notion of this country’s history.

Gun control laws were originally promulgated by Democrats to keep guns out of the hands of blacks. This allowed the Democratic policy of slavery to proceed with fewer bumps and, after the Civil War, allowed the Democratic Ku Klux Klan to menace and murder black Americans with little resistance.

(Contrary to what illiterates believe, the KKK was an outgrowth of the Democratic Party, with overlapping membership rolls. The Klan was to the Democrats what the American Civil Liberties Union is today: Not every Democrat is an ACLU’er, but every ACLU’er is a Democrat. Same with the Klan.)

In 1640, the very first gun control law ever enacted on these shores was passed in Virginia. It provided that blacks — even freemen — could not own guns.

Chief Justice Roger Taney’s infamous opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford circularly argued that blacks could not be citizens because if they were citizens, they would have the right to own guns: “[I]t would give them the full liberty,” he said, “to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

With logic like that, Republicans eventually had to fight a Civil War to get the Democrats to give up slavery.

Alas, they were Democrats, so they cheated.

After the war, Democratic legislatures enacted “Black Codes,” denying black Americans the right of citizenship — such as the rather crucial one of bearing arms — while other Democrats (sometimes the same Democrats) founded the Ku Klux Klan.

For more than a hundred years, Republicans have aggressively supported arming blacks, so they could defend themselves against Democrats.

The original draft of the Anti-Klan Act of 1871 — passed at the urging of Republican president Ulysses S. Grant — made it a federal felony to “deprive any citizen of the United States of any arms or weapons he may have in his house or possession for the defense of his person, family, or property.” This section was deleted from the final bill only because it was deemed both beyond Congress’ authority and superfluous, inasmuch as the rights of citizenship included the right to bear arms.

Under authority of the Anti-Klan Act, President Grant deployed the U.S. military to destroy the Klan, and pretty nearly completed the job.

But the Klan had a few resurgences in the early and mid-20th century. Curiously, wherever the Klan became a political force, gun control laws would suddenly appear on the books.

This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.

How’s that “may issue” gun permit policy working for you?

The NRA opposed these discretionary gun permit laws and proceeded to grant NRA charters to blacks who sought to defend themselves from Klan violence — including the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams.

A World War II Marine veteran, Williams returned home to Monroe, N.C., to find the Klan riding high — beating, lynching and murdering blacks at will. No one would join the NAACP for fear of Klan reprisals. Williams became president of the local chapter and increased membership from six to more than 200.

But it was not until he got a charter from the NRA in 1957 and founded the Black Armed Guard that the Klan got their comeuppance in Monroe.

Williams’ repeated thwarting of violent Klan attacks is described in his stirring book, “Negroes With Guns.” In one crucial battle, the Klan sieged the home of a black physician and his wife, but Williams and his Black Armed Guard stood sentry and repelled the larger, cowardly force. And that was the end of it.

As the Klan found out, it’s not so much fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.

The NRA’s proud history of fighting the Klan has been airbrushed out of the record by those who were complicit with the KKK, Jim Crow and racial terror, to wit: the Democrats.

In the preface to “Negroes With Guns,” Williams writes: “I have asserted the right of Negroes to meet the violence of the Ku Klux Klan by armed self-defense — and have acted on it. It has always been an accepted right of Americans, as the history of our Western states proves, that where the law is unable, or unwilling, to enforce order, the citizens can, and must act in self-defense against lawless violence.”

Contrary to MSNBC hosts, I do not believe the shooting in Florida is evidence of a resurgent KKK. But wherever the truth lies in that case, gun control is always a scheme of the powerful to deprive the powerless of the right to self-defense.
